I know I've been wanting to wear the city as a cross body for so long, I bought the velo but returned it because it was just flapping all over the place when I walked, so.......i went to a cobbler and had my city strap extended!!! I was so nervous until I saw it and it looked GREAT! He did such a good job, he added 12 inches and I'm so happy I did it.

oh my, please post pic~ this is the first. Most of us have shorten the strap not lengthen it

We should have alternate strap like these... so we can wear our bags like shoulder bag or cross-body as we wish

It's a brilliant idea, it goes well with the chain, looks so stylish!
